---

Planned changes to Social Security’s disability program could leave hundreds of thousands of older blue-collar workers ineligible for aid. These changes would fall disproportionately on some of President Trump’s most loyal supporters.

Two (hopefully) useful additions to #Phosh's quick settings: There's now a (optional) location service toggle to enable / disable location services (contributed by @gauthamx) and the caffeine quick setting can now automatically disable itself after a given period of time (contributed by @rudraps). The possible timer intervals will become configurable in mobile settings at some point.

What else could be expected from this traitor. Hungary will not enforce the ICC arrest warrant for Putin, FM Péter Szijjártó says. “We respectfully await President Putin. He is welcome to enter Hungary, hold successful talks, and return home. No coordination with anyone is needed.”

Since #BoycottDisney is trending now, why not take a look at Knights of Guinevere? It's an indy show created by Dana Terrace, the creator of The Owl House (a show that Disney cut short because it "didn't fit the brand"), and it's basically a sci-fi horror story about what it's like to work for Disney. It premiered yesterday. CW violence (it's an adult series).

We did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳

Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶

#ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.

The line printer uses a chain with raised characters that spins at high speed. It has 132 hammers, one for each column. When the right character on the chain is in front of a hammer, the hammer fires, printing that character. But if a hammer fails, that column doesn't print, as you can see. 2/N

🇪🇺When Germany's leading network of support centers for victims of violence warns against #ChatControl, governments should listen. 📢

Their verdict: It fails to protect children but endangers the confidential counseling that victims rely on!
